While some problems still remain to be solved, we could observe great progress in face recognition research in the last eight years.
It is worth noting that none of the tested algorithms were carefully crafted to handle the above-mentioned aspects.
The availability of large amounts of data definitely plays an important role in the recent state-of-the-art networks.
Furthermore, the three best systems we presented use different variations of the ArcFace loss [1]}, which definitely played an important role as well.
